Get into something that's really personal that means something to you, where you have something to say and is something really individualized. i wish i was more aware of that when i started my career instead of doing a few things i was told would be good for me. and they weren't, because it left me empty, so i didn't do a good job anyways. i think that's what's key to what we do: it's got to be personal.

More From Brad Pitt

You can be an artist without visual images, a reader without eyes, a mass of erudition with a bad elementary memory. in almost any subject your passion for the subject will save you. if you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. if you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.

Careers People Proud

People are telling me they're bored with all the attacks on trump, meaning they were not effective. they weren't working. they weren't dispiriting people. they weren't, because trump's fighting back. the republicans never did, and the activists and the protesters are so over the top on everything, they're actually boring people, and they're converting people into trump supporters.
Fighting People Bored
Sometimes, when we're terrified of embracing our true calling, we'll pursue a shadow calling instead. that shadow career is a metaphor for our real career. its shape is similar, its contours feel tantalizingly the same. but a shadow career entails no real risk. if we fail at a shadow career, the consequences are meaningless to us. are you pursuing a shadow career?
